How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market? What did I expect the workplace to be like and did I want to be there as the contractions took place? Will the administration pay me through the end of September or will they renege? Can I sufficiently build the Curated Questions business to transition by 1 October? - Do I have the faith or confidence to step into this future as a sole practitioner and grow Curated Questions into all I envisioned?

Did it change from your initial recommendation? Where in your body are you feeling the uncertainty? Are you processing this scenario in parallel with your decision as if you had received the email? What additional questions should I have considered? Who else should I have consulted with? How would you have changed my risk rating? What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity? Apart from the heady analysis, what other key practices would you include in your journey through a similar situation?…

Zoning Out Presented by The Comedy Zone

In this episode of Zoning Out , the hosts dive into a range of topics, starting with a discussion on the evolution of music and art. They debate whether early hip-hop, jazz, or even cave paintings were inherently “dumb” before evolving into respected forms. This leads to a broader conversation about stand-up comedy, including the risks of bringing a date to a show, performing in front of different audience sizes, and the unpredictability of comedy venues. They share personal stories of awkward gigs, including a recent show at a resort with less-than-ideal accommodations and a hilariously unexpected audience interaction. The conversation takes a turn into internet culture, with the hosts discussing the viral sensation surrounding a tiny anglerfish that surfaced unexpectedly, evoking deep emotional responses from people online. From there, they tackle societal frustrations, including outrage over public acts of grief, the absurdity of Fox News headlines like “Manly Men Have Left the Democratic Party for Trump,” and the performative nature of masculinity. They explore why some people seem determined to be angry at harmless things, emphasizing the importance of letting people live without unnecessary judgment. Rounding out the episode, the hosts debate the growing use of Ozempic for weight loss, discussing whether they would take a hypothetical “comedy Ozempic” if it guaranteed they’d be funnier at the expense of their crowd work skills. They wrap up with a round of “Would You Rather?” questions, focusing on their biggest pet peeves—traffic, bad internet, and being made late by someone else. The episode closes with a look at their upcoming comedy gigs and an assignment to review Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves before the next episode.…

In this episode of Zoning Out , it kicks off with a hilarious debate about what constitutes a "normal" photo, as Jonathan shares the odd request from his daughter to send her a picture. The conversation takes a comedic turn as they discuss the awkwardness of professional headshots, selfies, and whether his daughter is secretly flexing on her friends. The team dives into the recent Grammy Awards, breaking down Kendrick Lamar’s record-setting sweep with Not Like Us , the first-ever diss track to win a Grammy. They analyze Kendrick’s ongoing trolling of Drake, his unforgettable Canadian tuxedo, and the deeper implications of his Super Bowl halftime performance. They also discuss DOI's big Grammy win and the state of female rap. Things get wilder as they unpack Kanye West’s latest antics and his wife Bianca Censori’s bizarre red carpet outfit—or lack thereof. The discussion shifts into celebrity spectacle, outrage marketing, and whether Kanye is orchestrating his wife’s image for attention. Later, the guys play a hypothetical survival game: if faced with life-or-death situations—including fighting frat guys, battling a dog, surviving poison, or dodging a stampede—which scenario would they have the best chance of surviving? The debate gets heated as they weigh their athleticism, willpower, and the sheer unpredictability of animal attacks. The episode wraps up with talk of TV shows, including Severance , 3 Body Problem , and the cultural shift towards always watching content with subtitles. They also touch on Charlotte’s growing comedy scene, new club openings, and upcoming stand-up gigs. Tune in for a mix of comedy, chaos, and pop culture hot takes on Zoning Out —presented by The Comedy Zone!…
